Wash motor fault ISE W288
Hello,
I get the "wash motor fault" error message on my machine.
The error points to the motor being faulty? Does the motor
need replacing or could it be something else?
The machine is 7 years old and is used on average once a week.
I do now live in a hard water area.
Thanks
Sal
